Gaven and Vern (video)

Gaven loves the cat, Vern. They have similar interests - boxes, toys on sticks, balls, etc. He chases the cat all over the house. Vern is pretty tolerant but gives Gaven a gentle swat every now and then. As you can see, Gaven is now pulling himself up on everything and "walking" the furniture. Walking should be around the corner!

Oh Summer

We have had a wonderful summer with Gaven. He loves the water - the dog bowl is his favorite. He takes a "swim" every chance he gets. His buddy, Brody, from down the street came over to swim in Gaven's backyard pool.

Crawling - well, sort of (video)

Gaven has figured out how to get around with a modified crawl. He hates to be on his stomach and refuses to get up on his knees. So, he may just do this until he decides to walk.

Grandma visits

Grandma Marjorie came to visit. She got to witness Gaven's first independent motion. See the videos for an example of his crawl.

Gaven and the pets (video)

Gaven loves both Liza and Vern. He's now figured out how to scoot and follow them around. He's fascinated with the dog toys and water bowl.

Zerbert and Walking (videos)

Gaven has figured out how to zerbert. Maybe he'll be a trumpet player like mom! He loves to walk around with assistance. He takes big marching steps.

A happy guy

Gaven is now 8 1/2 months old. He is such a happy little man - we feel so lucky to have him in our lives.
